Retirement Planning: Disability Income Insurance

Your income is used to build the necessary assets for a retirement plan. The loss of your income – caused by an extended period of disability – makes it very difficult to save for retirement.

What is disability income insurance?

Disability income insurance replaces a portion of your income in the event you become too sick or hurt to work. RetireGuard® disability income insurance helps protect your ability to save for retirement.

How is disability income insurance used?

For employees, individual disability income insurance is often used to supplement limited coverage provided by an employer's group long-term disabililty plan. RetireGuard is used to help replace the contributions that would have been made to an employee's qualified retirement plan, if the employee had not become disabled.

What are the benefits of disability income insurance?

RetireGuard can help replace up to 100% of an amount equal to retirement plan contributions that would have been made to an employee's eligible defined contribution plan if the employee had not become disabled.
